Cartoon shows a boxing sugar beet “Productores” (Producers) punching a man “Monopolio Refinador Americano” (American Refining Trust) with fists labeled “Teller Investigacion” and “Resolucion Ley de Reciprocidad Congreso Cubano Nov. 28, 1902” “Reciprocity Resolution Cuban Congress Nov. 28, 1902”.) The man being punched wears boxing gloves “Quesada” and “Bliss” representing Cuban ambassador to the United States Gonzalo de Quesada and Tasker Howard Bliss, Special Envoy to Cuba. In the corner of the ring is Theodore Roosevelt with a bucket of water “Enmienda Platt” (Platt Amendment) and a fan “16 Escala Holandesa” referring to provisions for sugar in the Tariff Law of 1897.
